Disclosure:

I use an Amazon Associate id in my links to Amazon products. Don’t worry, I’m not getting rich off of it.

I’m a MLS student and library assistant in a public library in NC. I was curious about the term transliteracy. The definition on you website was clear and concise. I need to learn more about the digital age having been raised during the time of “enlightenment” namely the 60’s and 70’s. We were just getting out of the dark ages then.
